Adoptive transfer of α-MyHC-re-stimulated CD4+ T cells isolated from inguinal LNs and spleens of α-MyHC/CFA immunized wild-type donor mice expressing CD45.1+ alloantigen, effectively induced myocarditis in sub-lethally irradiated CD45.2+ wild-type recipients (Fig. 2a). This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and myocarditis.
